The Beauty of Friendship

The last week has taught me so much about the beauty of friendship. I am blessed to have wonderful friends, young and old, and they have all rallied in their own ways to help me through the past week's health scares. The youngest gave me giggles and smiles. The oldest offered wisdom and calm. The ones near offered visits, rides for my kids, a patient ear. The ones far offered phone calls full of hope, words of encouragement, and love. All offered prayers. I thank you all, my dear friends. What you have given to me is beyond measure. I feel so lucky.
